Deputies: Woman shoot at man in Pontiac, jailed

No one was seriously injured Monday afternoon after a man was shot at by his girlfriend, said Oakland County Sheriff's deputies.

Authorities said the man, 33, told them he had an argument with the woman -- also 33 -- outside of a home on the 100 block of East Ypsilanti Avenue.

As the man was walking up the steps of the front porch to go into the home, the woman fired a single shot at him, he told deputies. Already in her car, the woman drove away.

The man was hit with debris from the ricocheted shot, but he did not seek treatment for the minor injury to his thumb.

Investigators processed the scene and collected evidence at the home. They found damage from the gunshot and a fresh bullet casing.

Deputies later found the woman -- and the semi-automatic pistol she allegedly used in the shooting -- at a residence on the 600 block of Colorado Avenue. She was arrested and jailed, pending issuance of a warrant, said authorities.
